Fall in Johanna’s Garden

Blooms of the season

Johanna here from Aiken , South Carolina.(See a previous visit to her garden here.)Fall is my favorite season , and I specially love how my garden looks at this clip of the year . It seem more awake than ever . My shrubs , grass , decorative trees , Charles Hardin Holley , and Chrysanthemum morifolium seem to detonate with shape , texture , and coloration . I have been gardening for more than 40 years , but my Aiken garden of 13 - plus age is my darling . I started with a vast , pine - ladened empty ticket , and working within the confines of the infected placement , pine tree , and private road , I think it has turned out pretty well .

My osmanthus(Osmanthus fragransvar.aurantiacus , Zones 8–11 ) put on quite a show — three weeks of orange bloom with a wonderful fragrance .

My Meyer lemon tree(Citrus × meyeri , Zones 9–11 ) is bursting with fruit hold back to ripen .

Theprickly pear cactus(Opuntiasp . ) , which bloom in May with xanthous flowers , is now load up with purple fruit .

The seating area is new and was created to give rest , break up the long stretchability , and make for a better transition to the cactus area .

Theyucca , yield to me by a neighbor and champion about three days ago , has grown immensely , and we are both wait to see what happens with this specimen .

TheMiscanthussinensis‘Gracillimus’(Zones 5–9)is my favorite upright gage . It looks so elegant and really radiate in the fall .

I love stomach on my front dance step and expect down the walk at the unlike shapes and texture .

Squashare still make .

My banana(Musasp . ) plants are fly high . I have two , which were given to me by a neighbor . I love it when my neighbors can see plant they have pass on me thrive in my garden .

This flowering ginger plant(Hedychium coronarium , Zones 7–10 ) was also given to me by a neighbor .
